[ooc] martel is a FILTHY SINNER >:O

[apostatised]

[21:51] dr of rpology: vanity is definitely one of martel's sins.
[21:51] dazzlingsongbird: probably equal first with wrath
[21:51] dr of rpology: yep!
[21:51] dr of rpology: you've got some pride and greed in there too
[21:52] dr of rpology: actually
[21:52] dr of rpology: less so with the greed, i don't think he's actively greedy
[21:52] dr of rpology: accustomed to Having, and also using it as a benchmark for success, but.
[21:52] dr of rpology: tl;dr i think about stuff.
[21:53] dazzlingsongbird: yeeeah, they're probably his big ones.
[21:53] dazzlingsongbird: i don't think he's all that big with lust.
[21:53] dr of rpology: oh, it's THERE, definitely
[21:53] dazzlingsongbird: and he's definitely not slothful
[21:53] dazzlingsongbird: but it's not as important as the others
[21:53] dr of rpology: not as big a sin, anyway.
[21:53] dazzlingsongbird: OH OH envy is one of his big ones too
[21:53] dr of rpology: ENVY yes
[21:53] dr of rpology: slothful not at all
[21:54] dr of rpology: i think lust avoids being one of his sins simply because it's probably not a huge deal to him most of the time.
[21:55] dr of rpology: not that he's not INTERESTED, just, you know...not ruled by the peen.
[21:55] dazzlingsongbird: yeah, he's usually pretty busy worrying about everything else
[21:55] dr of rpology: yeah, and
[21:55] dr of rpology: actually this came up when he was talking to maria, she wanted to know if he'd ever been in love or w/e and he was like no he never got married 'cause
[21:56] dr of rpology: martel does have a traditional view of how that works, and his lifestyle didn't exactly allow for providing a Lifestyle.
[21:56] dr of rpology: like, what kind of husband/father could he have been during the later years of his life? an absent one, mostly.
[21:56] dazzlingsongbird: yeeeah. he would have kind of sucked.
[21:56] dr of rpology: yeah, and he knew that
[21:57] dazzlingsongbird: i think if he'd stayed with the knights, he might have gone okay?
[21:57] dr of rpology: oh, yeah!
[21:57] dr of rpology: actually kay and i discussed this earlier
[21:57] dr of rpology: if he'd stuck with the knights
[21:57] dr of rpology: right now
[21:57] dr of rpology: he'd probably be lord preceptor and sparhawk would have one less hat
[21:57] dr of rpology: because martel would've been available for that one.
[21:57] dazzlingsongbird: yeeeah most deifnitely
[21:57] dazzlingsongbird: i was about to say that.
[21:57] dr of rpology: yeah, i've been thinking about writing some stuff based on that idea, kay said she'd like that fic.
[21:58] dr of rpology: but yeah, i think if he'd stuck with the pandions he'd probably be lord preceptor and more than likely the most devoted husband in the universe to the point of being slightly annoying.
[21:59] dazzlingsongbird: yeeeeah, probably. when martel puts his mind to something, he's VERY good at it.
[21:59] dr of rpology: yeah, that's his shtick
[21:59] dr of rpology: INTENSITY.
[21:59] dazzlingsongbird: and you know he wouldn't have just settled for any random woman
[21:59] dr of rpology: oh, no.
[21:59] dr of rpology: martel needs someone who can not only keep up with him but also rein him in.
[21:59] dazzlingsongbird: exactly, exactly
[22:01] dr of rpology: with a bullwhip if necessary.
[22:02] dazzlingsongbird: ... i bet he'd like that. :D
